Did New York Magazine Just Write the Worst Headline and Subheadline in the History of Journalism? Maybe It Did!

From New York magazine:
The New Journalism: Goosing the Gray Lady
What are these renegade cybergeeks doing at the New York Times? Maybe saving it.
Let's see: "New Journalism"..."Gray Lady"..."renegade cybergeeks"...rhetorical question + rhetorical answer...a hedging "maybe" inserted into rhetorical answer to rhetorical question...

Unless it's all some high-concept futurist gag here in which Adam Moss programmed a bot to auto-generate display text, this is the most... Why am I even trying to make words about it? Renegade cybergeeks! Renegade cybergeeks renegade cybergeeks. Renegade. Cybergeeks. Cybergade renegeeks. Gray Goose. New Journalism. Nosegay Ladyjournals. Maybe Ladyism? Time savings!
